This week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Sake Rok at The Park, Los Vegas’ newest area attraction. Joining Peter Greenberg will be Matthew Upchurch, Chief Executive Officer of Virtuoso, talking about the power of conversation during a travel transaction and the importance of making a personal connection when seeking luxury travel—no matter how you define luxury. Speaking of luxury travel, Geoffrey Kent, Founder and CEO of Abercrombie & Kent, talks about his special around-the-world trip on a Boeing 757 with 50 first class seats. Shawn McClain, Chef and Managing Partner at the new Libertine Social at Mandalay and Five50 Pizza Bar at ARIA and Sage, joins the show with a report on the restaurant scene in the city of celebrity chefs—important when making a first impression on diners. Mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim explains what a “Queens Park Swizzle Stick” is and how he uses it to make authentic rum drinks, as well as the history of once-banned Absinthe and where you can find it today. Rick Arpin, Senior Vice President of MGM Resorts Entertainment, drops by to talk about the latest Las Vegas reinvention—the successful drive to get its own NHL team. If the name Albert Mack rings a bell, it’s because of the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. Now, it’s also because of Sake Rok, and his special approach to sushi. We’ve also got updates from the Middle East. Amr Badr reports on the current state of Egypt. Piu Eatwell, Author of F is for France, lets us in on why Cristal is served in a clear glass, how wild kangaroo ended up in Austria, why some French citizens still eat horses, and some other secrets that keep her happily living in Paris in spite of the horse meat! There’s all of this and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Sake Rok at The Park.
